“It’s not like that, you are assuming you know my intentions, yet you never let me explain” He growled.
“Now please get upstairs, we can talk about it tomorrow”
“No”
“Lily, don’t make me do this”
“I’m not telling you to, I am not forcing you to do anything Damien, just leave me be”
“Lily, Get upstairs now” His Alpha voice ringing clearly in my head. I felt Layla whine loudly, before growling and digging her claws in, trying to fight his command. I chuckled. Now knowing why Aria hates using her Alpha voice. Being rogue, it’s extremely painful. My entire body shudders as I try to fight off his command. Sweat forms on my neck and I see Damien look at me like it pains him just by watching me try to fight against him. He steps forward and I growl warningly at him. I feel myself pale like all the blood is leaving my body, before collapsing and dropping to my knees.
“Lily stop trying to fight it please, you’re only hurting yourself” He said walking over cupping my face with his hand. Familiar tingles spread over my cheek and I involuntarily lean into his touch. Pain racks my body as I feel the command behind his words pass through every cell. My vision becomes blurred as I scream. The Alpha looks at me, panic shining in his eyes at what he did. I feel him pick me up off the floor, the pain easing slightly before I feel him move towards the stairs.
“I’m sorry” He whispers. Placing me on my feet, Layla forces me up the stairs not being able to handle the pain of going against him, I drop on my knees again trying to catch my breath as the pain slowly leaves my body. I hear the Alpha come up behind me, scooping me up.
He walks us into the bedroom before placing me on the bed. I watch as he walks into the bathroom before returning with a damp cloth and placing it on my forehead. My head was pounding against my skull. Feeling the bed dip, the Alpha pulls me against him, resting my head on his chest, I feel him kiss the top of my head before sleep takes over and I pass out.
The next morning, I awoke to the sound of the doorbell, Alpha Damien's side of the bed was cold telling me he had been up for some time. I make my way downstairs to answer the door. My mood plummeted when I saw Tabitha again.
“He isn’t here” I tell her before shutting the door in her face. She instantly knocks on the door again. Opening it, I have to fight the urge to throat punch her.
“What do you want?” I demand as she places her hands on her hips.
“I don’t know if Damien told you, but I actually work here” She states, pushing past me and walking into the house. He actually didn’t tell me, but I remember Natalia mentioning her name saying she was the morning house worker. I groan internally before shutting the door. Layla growled in my head angrily as we watched her saunter into the closet under the stairs.
I walk up the stairs, heading back to the room when she speaks.
“You know when I get the test results this afternoon, he will have no choice but to kick your ass to the curb, when he realises this baby is actually his” My hand grips the bannister, my nails digging into the soft wood leaving claw marks.
“ It must hurt knowing you aren’t the one baring his child” She sang out in her irritating nasally voice. Making me growl loudly in warning.
“Yeah, it sucks, but how do you think your mate will feel when you find him?” I retorted. She doesn’t reply, but I can hear her rummaging around in the cupboards before I see her pop out holding a bucket and mop.
“Tabitha, if this kid is his, that doesn’t make you his mate” Tabitha growled, not liking the truth. She doesn’t intimidate me, and I know I had hit a nerve with her. I continue up the stairs heading back to the bedroom when I hear the downstairs door open and the Alpha’s familiar intoxicating scent wafts through the house.
I hear his voice before I see him. “Tabitha, what are you doing here?” He says, by the tone of his voice I can tell he is annoyed.
“Working what’s it look like?” She bites back sarcastically.
“You don’t work here anymore, Tabitha. I will have you transferred elsewhere”
“What? You can’t do that Damien, I am carrying your child and you’re just going to throw me away because you met that bitch”
“Watch your tongue Tabitha, that bitch is your Luna and my mate. I won’t listen to you speak of her that way” I couldn’t be bothered listening anymore, deciding to go take a shower.
I figure out the shower before stripping off my clothes. Locking the door so the Alpha doesn’t try to invade my privacy, not that it stops him from knocking.
“Lily, open the door, please”
“I’m showering, you can wait” I sing out from the shower, trying to rinse the shampoo out of my hair. I hear him stalk off. I finish my shower and open the door with my towel wrapped tightly around me. Walking out and seeing Damien is sitting on the edge of the bed waiting for me.
I roll my eyes at him and walk into the closet to get some clothes.
“I told her to leave.” He says before sighing.
“Yeah, because that will make me feel better knowing she is carrying your baby” I huff.
“We don’t know for sure, she has been with a lot of the unmated wolves” He said.
